You might need a base

If you've only got a lift kit then there's no reason your stock jack won't work- regardless of lift hright. Do one at a time and jack where the factory recommends- under the axle tube.

Picking it up by the rear diff, rear shock mounts, and dead in the middle of the front axle won't allow it to "flex" at all.


I'm guessing this is your first time ever rotating your own tires if you're having this problem. A little reading in the manual will take you a long way.

The AEV jack base makes a world of difference for using your oe scissor jack. Pricey for a chunk of plastic but well worth it IMO. Sent from iPhone moderating JK-Forum.com
